September Dates are open!
“Home is where the heart is.” Footprints in the Sand is a beautifully cared for Victorian-style home that lies in the most ideal location: just two blocks away from South Haven's many shops and restaurants but still in a quiet residential neighborhood. The bright green exterior with unique wrap-around front porch is sure to make you feel like you’re on vacation from the minute you arrive. Furthermore, the house is within a mile of the shores of North Beach - a staple point of South Haven. This makes it possible to enjoy the home, town, beach and amazing sunsets all within your stay!
This spacious home has a functional floor plan with vintage charm for family and friends looking to create lasting memories. The interior décor has a nautical theme, original moldings, hardwood floors and antique furniture pieces. Upon entering the open concept living/dining room, the front windows bring in natural light overlooking the porch and peaceful tree-lined neighborhood street. The renovated kitchen is great for putting meals together and leads to a two-level deck and private back yard, perfect for entertaining. There are four large bedrooms to comfortably sleep up to 10 guests and two full updated bathrooms. The first-floor bedroom has a queen-sized bed, walk-in closet and on-suite bathroom with walk-in shower. Two of the upstairs bedrooms have queen-sized beds and the third bedroom has a twin/full bunk bed and separate twin bed. A second cozy family room area is outside of the upstairs bedrooms for another space to watch tv and unwind. Other amenities of the house include a large outdoor gas grill, central air conditioning/heating, washer/dryer (bring your own detergent) and ample off-street and on-street parking.
Activity options are endless to make your vacation a memorable one: biking or hiking on the Kal-Haven Trail, gathering for a relaxing beach day, visiting the Maritime Museum, taking boat rides or watching boats at the marina, going between the splashpad and playgrounds while stopping for an ice cream, enjoying local breweries/wineries, and having one-on-one or entire family/friend time while hanging out for a backyard barbeque. This is just the beginning of what this picturesque Lake Michigan town has to offer. Multiple stores including Meijer, Aldi, Walmart, Dollar Tree and Menards are also down the street for anything you need to pick up.
